Tom Lane 7d80441d2c Allow psql's \dt and \di to show TOAST tables and their indexes.
Formerly, TOAST objects were unconditionally suppressed, but since
\d is able to print them it's not very clear why these variants
should not.  Instead, use the same rules as for system catalogs:
they can be seen if you write the 'S' modifier or a table name
pattern.  (In practice, since hardly anybody would keep pg_toast
in their search_path, it's really down to whether you use a pattern
that can match pg_toast.*.)

No docs change seems necessary because the docs already say that
this happens for "system objects"; we're just classifying TOAST
tables as being that.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
